/wbExplain — ELI5 ​

/wbExplain is the teacher command. /wbWork does the task; /wbExplain tells you what the task means before you do it (or instead of doing it, if it's not really a task — just a question).

You point it at one of two things:

  • A plan row (--id=N against a plan file) → it explains that specific task.
  • A folder + question (<path>/ "<question>") → it explains that part of the codebase.

Add --as=eli5, --as=expert, --as=advanced (or any persona token from shortcuts.md) to set the depth. Default is "practical."

The output is a markdown file in explanations/, not a chat reply. That matters: explanations get re-read days later, when the chat is gone.

It does not modify code. Ever. If you want code changed, use /wbWork.
